I In power transmission systems, voltage changes continuously as reactive power is whether over supply or shortage. Reactive power produces in generators and consumes in transmission lines, and loads. Voltages at end points of transmission lines rise which is called Ferranti effect. Excessive voltage rising can reduce transmission equipment life, the voltage rising is usually permitted within the limit of 10%~30% excess. Shunt reactors are installed in transmission lines to put a curb on voltage rising. In this paper, we tried to do modelling for shunt reactor configuration types which are no grounding, grounded and grouded neutral reactor. Simulation are carried out for reactor magnitude for compensating transmission line capacitance.

Shunt reactor, a facility for reactive power compensation, is switched several times a day depending on the load pattern. When the circuitbreaker opens the shunt reactor over-voltage is generated by several factors which degrade the insulating performance of internal parts of the circuit-breaker and cause severe voltage stress on the equipment in the power system. Transient phenomenon occurring during the switching of shunt reactor are available in laboratories that verify the performance of the circuit-breaker by simulating the power system. However, it is difficult to measure the transient phenomenon that occurs during actual operation in actual power system due to many limitations. Therefore, this paper deals with the modeling using EMTP to analyze the reignition and current chopping which causes more severe transient recovery voltage in the small inductive current breaking in actual power systems. In addition, this paper analyzes the main phenomenon that cause circuit-breaker failure in opening shunt reactor using EMTP model.

We have investigated the quench performance of shunt reactors in the parallel connection of resistive type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) components based on YBCO films. To increase voltage rating, components are connected in series and to increase current level, they are connected in parallel. This method has cauesd the unbalanced quench between each components. To improve the problem, we have compared the quench properties between the current limiting components without and with shunt reactors connected in parallel. To improve the quench performance, across individual SFCL components connected the shunt reactor in parallel. The components with shunt reactors successfully produced simultaneous quench, resulting from the bypass of the fault current in the direction of the shunt reactor.

Shunt reactors are used to compensate for capacitive VARs generated by lightly loaded transmission lines or underground cables. They are normally connected to the transformer tertiary winding. Dry-type shunt reactors have the advantage compared with oil-immersed shunt reactor as followings. Lower investment and maintenance cost, No fire hazard and no environmental concerns, Simple insulation to ground, Response to transient overvoltage less severe, Linearity of inductance versus load current, Lower-acoustic noise, Easier transport and handling due to lower weight, No oil-collecting system must be provided since there is no oil that can leak into the ground.

The current limiting and recovery characteristics of a superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) using shunt reactors were analyzed. Generally, the shunt reactor has a role to distribute the even voltage drop between high-Tc superconducting (HTSC) elements comprising the SFCL. However, the shunt reactors magnetically separated was not contributed to the equal voltage distribution between the HTSC elements. Through the experiments for the SFCL with both the magnetically coupled and magnetically uncoupled shunt reactors, the magnetically coupled shunt reactors were confirmed to improve the current limiting and recovery characteristics of the SFCL.

Because on the high-tension underground distribution line of an electric railway high voltage XLPE Cable two or three circuits between railway stations with a standard as receiving transformer facilities are established at a $30km{\sim}50km$ interval, reactive power in which the phase of a current is larger than that of a voltage is supplied when trains are not working, so when there are no loading or low loading as night. Due to the long-distance trend of the underground distribution system on an alternating current railway distribution line, the terminal voltage of a transformer is over the standard voltage, and after all, commercial cycle overvoltage is continued. To solve this problem, the shunt reactor is installed in middle of power distribution lines to maintain receiver voltage meted under the allowance regulation through control of the reactive power. Also, in case that the thickness of single cable is over $60mm^2$ and length of line is about over 30km, a circuit breaker is broken by shorting shunt ability of charging current in excess of shunt current(31.5A.rms). Therefore, this thesis presents installing the location of shunt reactor for quantitative analysis by using optimum algorism for compensation and control of the charging current.

This paper deals with shunt compensation to eliminate voltage violation and enhance transfer capability, which is motivated towards implementation in the Korean power system. The optimal shunt compensation algorithm has demonstrated its effectiveness in terms of voltage accuracy and reducing the number of actions of reactive power compensating devices. The main shunt compensation devices are capacitor and reactor. Effects of control devices are evaluated by cost computations. The control objective at present is to keep the voltage profile of a key bus within constraints with minimum switching cost. A robust control strategy is proposed to make the control feasible and optimal for a set of power-flow cases that may occurs important event from system. Case studies with metropolitan area of the Korean power system are presented to illustrate the method.

This paper proposes the allocation method for capacitor-reactor banks in a distribution system with dispersed generators to reduce the installation costs, the maintenance costs and minimize the loss of electrical energy. The expected lifetime and maintenance period of devices with moving parts depends on the total number of operations, which affects the replacement and maintenance period for aging equipment under a limited budget. In this paper, the expected device lifetimes and the maintenance period are included in the formulation, and the optimal operation status of the devices is determined using a genetic algorithm. The optimal numbers and locations for capacitor-reactor banks are determined based on the optimal operation status. Simulation results in a 69-bus distribution system with the dispersed generator show that the proposed technique performs better than conventional methods.

We investigated the quench characteristics in accordance with increase of turns number of trigger coil and shunt resistance of matrix-type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) with $2{\times}3$ array. The matrix-type SFCL consists of the trigger part to apply magnetic field and the current-limiting part to limit fault current. The fault current limiting characteristics according to the increase of magnetic field and applied voltage were nearly same. This is because the application of magnetic field hasn't an affect on total impedance of the SFCL. When turns number of a reactor increased, the voltage difference between two superconducting units in the current-limiting part according was decreased. The resistance difference generated in two superconducting units was also decreased. Therefore, we confirmed that the differences of the critical behaviors between superconducting units were reduced by application of magnetic field. By this results, we could decide the optimum turns number of reactor to apply magnetic field.
